OUR SELECTION OF GOURMET PRODUCTS
Ox & Old Cow (Dry Aged)
______________________________
Ox & Old Cow Dry Aged “Cárnicas El Capricho” (ES)
Our cattle from El Capricho come from very old Iberian breeds, inheriting a hardiness and resistance, which allows them to withstand the few pastures and the adverse climate of the area. Native breeds that have arrived intact over time, without genetic manipulations and without the current demands of productivity and efficiency, which is why these cattle offer curved shapes, with lots of meat and healthy fat.
Mature (at least 4 years old), huge animals, with a wide chest and narrow legs, somewhat corcovado, ideal for accumulating fat, offering essences and sensations of the past, which we thought we had forgotten.
Pampered every day and fed naturally in the wild, Jose Gordón always protects them, above all the characteristics of a breed.
For our farmer, the ox is a magical, almost mystical animal and the cow, an individual with perfect morphology for the accumulation of quality fats, coming to understand and comprehend them.
Some of the breeds we offer: Cachena, Tudanca, Alistana sanabresa, Sayaguesa, Rubia Gallega, Asturiana de los valles, Asturiana de la montaña, Parda de la montaña, Vianesa, Barrosa, Frisona, Freiresa, Maronesa, Ramo Grande, Avileña, Minhota and Terreña, as well as some crossbred specimens that usually give incredible results.

Saffron
______________________________
There are references to the usages of this spice dating back to 2.300 BC, and in the Middle Ages it was cultivated in the Iberian Peninsula, probably introduced by the Arabs.
The main use of this spice is gastronomic. It is used in small quantities and as a condiment. Spain is currently the second largest producer in the world and has a protected designation of origin “Azafrán de La Mancha”.
Saffron PDO “Saffron from La Mancha” (ES)
We import this spice directly from a family run company with its own farm. For several generations this farm has been dedicated to the planting, collection, harvesting, roasting and packaging of saffron.
Their traditional and artisan knowledge acquired from their ancestors and their daily know-how, have allowed them to obtain year after year a saffron of the highest quality.
Anchovies
______________________________
A variety of fish called bocarte (commonly called anchovies). They are found in the coastal waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, and also in large fresh and saltwater lakes, in temperate warm waters.
Anchovy from Santoña (ES)
They are considered the best on the market from the Cantabrian Sea and are known as the king of anchovies. Cantabrian sailors take special care with the fishing and traditional preparation to conserve the fine qualities of this fish. The preparation of the anchovies for their subsequent preservation in tins is a delicate and painstaking artisanal work.
La elaboración de las anchoas para su posterior conservación en lata es una delicada y esmerada labor artesanal.
Olive Oil
______________________________
It is a vegetable oil and Spain produces almost half of the world’s olive oil, followed by Italy and Greece. The facility where the oil is processed is called an olive press (almazara). Its main use is culinary, although it has also been used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes, among others.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
This is the highest quality oil. The lower percentage of acidity is the main indicator of EVOO quality.
Virgin Olive Oil
It follows the same parameters as extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) in terms of the methods used to obtain it.
Olive Oil PDO “Aceite Comunidad Valenciana” (ES)
The Alicante olive varieties are:
– Alfafarenca o Alfafara
– Blanqueta
– Villalonga o Manzanilla Villalonga
– Rojal de Alicante o Grossal/Beniaia
– Picual
Rice
______________________________
It was introduced by the Muslims in the Iberian Peninsula in the middle ages. Cultivated almost immediately in the Valencian Community, as the characteristics of its coastline are ideal, with marshes and wetlands that can be easily flooded.
It is grown in the three Valencian provinces, but mainly in the area of the Albufera natural park.
“Arroz de Valencia” is the Denomination of Origin that protects and identifies rice cultivation in the Valencian Community.
Rice PDO “Arroz de Valencia” (ES)
The two best known rices are:
– Bomba
The grain is round and pearly, with an extraordinary quality as it remains whole and loose even after prolonged cooking. It increases in size when cooked and absorbs a lot of flavour.
– Albufera
It is a natural cross between the varieties Bomba, Sénia and Bahía. It absorbs a lot of the flavour of the cooking stock and is very resistant to overcooking.
Plankton (Umami)
______________________________
It is a group of organisms, mainly microscopic, that live in suspension in salt or fresh water and the greatest abundance is found to a depth of approximately 200 metres.
ALGAN” Plankton (ES)
ALGAN® Plankton is a freeze-dried product of the micro algae Tetraselmis chuii of the highest purity, whose aroma reminds us of the sea. It provides new and exciting flavours and nuances to traditional and avant-garde dishes.

Ñora (Pepper)
______________________________
This is a variety of pepper and is most commonly grown in Alicante, Murcia and Catalonia, and is left to dry naturally under the sun over large areas in the countryside. It is frequently used as a dried or dehydrated condiment in countless recipes. Together with garlic strings they are often used as decoration in Spanish kitchens and restaurants.
Ñora Collective Trademark ‘Ñora de Guardamar del Segura’ (ES)
It has been grown in this area for 150 years. The ‘Ñora de Guardamar’ differs from the rest in the drying process: it is dried in the famous sand dunes of the area which give the ‘ñora’ the flavour and aroma of their climate. The drying process lasts between 15 and 25 days, so it is not only dehydrated, but also fermented, creating a unique and essential condiment, unlike anything else and used in a wide variety of recipes.
And soon …
